Tang Shiyue took it and looked at it carefully.
This one is actually a simple contract signed by both parties.
Because his family was poor, he sold the eldest daughter of the third branch of Tang Dashu's family to Tang Ancheng for ten taels of silver. Fearing that she would never return without proof, he left a note of sale as a record.
The person selling calligraphy was Mrs. Sun, who put her fingerprints on the back.
There were two guarantors, whose names she couldn't remember. The buyer was Tang Ancheng, Tang Shuizhi's father, and he also put his fingerprints on the document.
Below is the year, month and day.
Before she finished reading, Tang Shuizhi hurriedly snatched it back.
Tang Shiyue didn't try to snatch it back, but just frowned.
This is troublesome.
She couldn't think of a good solution for the moment, so she could only delay time and wait for Yang to come and get away first.
...
...
So Tang Shiyue said: "Then I will return the ten taels of silver to you!"
Meng Ziyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think the young master is short of these ten taels of silver? Even if we want to redeem the slaves we bought, we need my approval!"
Tang Shiyue said: "It was Mr. Tang who bought it from me, not you!"
Meng Ziyang laughed: "So what? Tang Shuizhi is my concubine, her people are mine!"
I am a concubine who is good at business, let alone a maid.
Tang Shiyue frowned.
Meng Ziyang glanced at her, and immediately felt pity for her. He smiled and said, "But don't worry, the young master will naturally not treat you badly. Anyway, the document doesn't say what I bought you back for, so I, the young master, will naturally not let you do the work of serving others."
He paused deliberately, looking at her expression and said, "Let's put it this way. The agreement we made in the restaurant is still valid. As long as you nod, I will give you the position of co-wife!"
He felt that only a fool would not agree to this condition, and he was even moved by his own magnanimity!
Tang Shuizhi showed an expression of uncontrollable jealousy.
Although she was beautiful, she was just a concubine after being taken into the mansion. However, she, a rotten and lowly maid, could become a co-wife.
Why!
Tang Shiyue said, "Mr. Meng, we have already agreed that you cannot force me. You have a big family and a big business, are you going to go back on your word?"
"It's a different time now!" Meng Ziyang laughed without any shame, "At that time, I didn't know that you were originally mine! I'm not stupid. Since I've already spent money to buy you, why should we, as a family, go around in circles?"
Tang Shuizhi couldn't bear to listen any more.
A village girl rose to fame overnight, and she was still pretending to be so noble! She really couldn't stand her pretending to be noble!
So she said sourly: "Alright, our master hates people pretending the most. If you keep pretending, he will be unhappy!"
She took a step forward, grabbed her hand, and pinched it hard, with a smile on her face: "Why don't you follow me well, and we can be good sisters!"
Meng Ziyang laughed loudly: "Our Zhi'er is still the most charming one!"
Just then, a servant suddenly came in hurriedly, leaned close to Meng Ziyang's ear and whispered a few words.
Meng Ziyang's face changed, and he said angrily: "Why is she so idle? Meddling in other people's family affairs?"
He thought for a moment, then pointed at Tang Shiyue and said, "Take her down and keep an eye on her! If anything goes wrong, you will be the ones to blame!"
Immediately, several maids and old women rushed forward.
It should be Yang who is here.
Tang Shiyue frowned and looked around quickly.
Meng Ziyang is a man who loves luxury and ostentation. He has a large number of servants in his mansion. Moreover, he is generous and offers high rewards, so naturally he has a lot of followers. Looking at the looks of these people, you can tell that they are hoping something will happen so that they can show off!
With her small body, if she struggles, she will definitely suffer physical pain. I just hope Yang can be more supportive!
Tang Shiyue obediently let them drag her away.
The person who came was indeed Yang.
She thought more about it. Since the other party knew that the person behind the wine shop was County Magistrate Lin, but still dared to come to arrest people, there were two reasons. One was that Tang Shiyue was indeed a "fugitive slave" of his family, and the other was that the other party had a strong background and was not afraid of the county government.
Or maybe both.
But even so, whether based on gratitude or the current cooperation, there is no way Yang would not save her.
So she rushed over as soon as she got the news.
Meng Ziyang already had a wife, but he didn't bring her here, so apart from the servants, there were only a few concubines and maids who had just been brought in. The person in charge was a housekeeper named Feng.
Therefore, when Yang came, Meng Ziyang had to receive her himself.
Meng Ziyang was originally a lawless playboy. Moreover, he came from the county town and had seen some worldly things. He looked down on the county magistrate to a certain extent. Therefore, after a few words, he lost his patience and told the story directly.
When Yang heard this, she found the situation a bit tricky.
But she still smiled and said in a good-natured voice: "Mr. Meng, this matter really came a little suddenly. After all, this is not an enmity. Since Mr. Meng has decided to marry A Yue, why don't I take A Yue back first, and we can set a good date and have a good time."
Meng Ziyang didn't notice her trick, but his thoughts were very straight male cancer, and he said: "What's the excitement? Since she has been in my family for a long time, why do we need to ask outsiders to take her away? What's the point of all this?"
Yang said, "Mr. Meng just said she was his concubine..."
"I will give you the position of co-wife when I return. You don't have to worry about it, Madam."
Yang said patiently: "Marrying a wife is not like taking a concubine. You can't do it casually. There are three books, six ceremonies, three matchmakers and six certificates..."
He simply waved his hand and said, "My parents aren't here, why would I bother with all that fake stuff?"
He turned around and ordered, "Tell Tang Shiyue to take a bath and change clothes, and ask Butler Feng to prepare wine and food. The young master will have his wedding night tonight!"
Tang Shiyue was waiting behind, but Yang didn't come over. Instead, someone came over and asked her to take a bath and change clothes.
Tang Shiyue felt a little depressed.
She underestimated her enemy. She shouldn't have come to the Meng family so easily. No matter how important the shop was, it was not as important as herself.
She could never spend the night at the Meng family's.
A woman’s reputation is too fragile these days, and it becomes unclear after a night.
Besides, people like Meng Ziyang have no moral principles at all, and he might have the idea of making the matter a fait accompli.
Of course, all men of this era have this idea, thinking that as long as they can get a woman's body, the woman will be devoted to him.
Several maids were already getting impatient, and one of them shouted, "Miss Tang, please take a bath!"
Seeing that she still ignored them, several people exchanged glances and tried to grab her like ferocious monsters.
Tang Shiyue quickly stepped aside, raising her eyebrows slightly: "Do you really want to offend me? Have you thought it through?"
The old woman glared at him and was about to speak, but the young lady seemed to be smiling, her eyes moving around, and although she was young, she was charming and seductive, but she hesitated.
Tang Shiyue smiled faintly and said, "I am the owner of Fushou Wine Shop and the owner of Tang's Wine Shop. I have a cash cow in my hand. Otherwise, why do you think Meng Ziyang tried so hard to marry me?"
Several maids and servants were stunned at once.
Tang Shiyue said: "Even if Meng Ziyang is standing in front of me now, I won't go if I say so! Who dares to force me?"
She glanced at everyone and said, "A smart person should know how to read people's expressions! Don't flatter the wrong person! You will regret it later!"
Her arrogant and fearless look successfully shocked the maids and old women.
Meng Ziyang acts recklessly, and with great rewards comes great punishments. Even if she is not the head of the Tang family, it would be unwise to offend her just because of her good looks when she just came in.
A maid laughed hastily and said, "What are you talking about, young lady? We are here to serve you, how could we intend to offend you? But the Meng family is wealthy and powerful, and the young master is a handsome man. Since he has fallen in love with you and wants to marry you, it would be a great blessing. But don't be pretentious and make the young master unhappy..." She looked threatening.
